Hear Brooklyn indie rock outfit DIIV's rumbling new song, “Skin Game”
“Skin Game” finds DIIV putting a heavier spin on the familiar shoegaze-y whirl of their earlier recordings, as meandering guitar lines shimmer then expand into a deafening crunch. In a statement, frontman Zachary Cole Smith described the song as “an imaginary dialogue between two characters, which could either be myself or people I know.” He added that the song was partly inspired by his recent stints in rehab facilities and the experience of coming to grips with addiction and recovery.
“I spent six months in several different rehab facilities at the beginning of 2017,” Smith said. “I was living with other addicts. Being a recovering addict myself, there are a lot of questions like, ‘Who are we? What is this disease?’ Our last record was about recovery in general, but I truthfully didn’t buy in. I decided to live in my disease instead. ‘Skin Game’ looks at where the pain comes from.
